Does a nose get bigger after you break it ?

Hi. A fracture from a traumatic event can cause the nose to widen and shift. If the break is a surgical break as in a rhinoplasty, the answer is no. Good luck, Dr PG

Not only can the nose become bigger after it is broken, but it can also become crooked if the bones heal out of place.  

The term broken nose typically refers to a nasal bone fracture. When these occur a healing process will ensue consisting of callus formation - often times, this will lead to a larger nose.

After trauma or after surgery? Early swelling or long term? A nasal fracture  can result in a crooked or wider nose. Surgery leads to swelling but in most cases the long term result is a straighter or more narrow nasal bridge. Best of luck.Stephen Weber MD, FACSDenver Facial Plastic Surgeon

Well, that depends on where the bones are after the break. Once the swelling has settled (weeks) if the bones are out of position the nose may appear wider.                                              

 No, the nose does not get bigger after your break it. Osteotomies performed in the nasal bones allow the bridge line/ nasal bones to be narrowed. For more information and many examples about breaking the nose, please see the video below

A broken nose may not even look broken other than perhaps swelling. Some are very severe and push the bones and septum out of place as well.

NO! Best to seek more in person opinions from boarded surgeon in your area>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Hi, I have performed and taught Rhinoplasty for 30 years.  A traumatic break can cause the nasal bones to shift, widen and become deviated/crooked.  The cartilage can crack which is pulled and twisted by the subsequent formation of scar tissue.  Rhinoplasty can address these issues.  Hope this helps.  

In plain words, no, it doesn't. There is initial swelling, which subsides. Then if the pieces are out of their proper position, it could look weird, crooked, irregular or even collapsed, depending on the type of trauma: how the nose was hit, what part of the nose, amount of force exerted, blunt or sharp object, etc
